@nepf
I am sorry, but I cannot think of a change to the code, which shortens the title automatically. I am sure, there is one, but I have no idea, how to realize it.
An easier way might be, to use the %location%-field for a second and shorter form for your titles. Of course, this is just possible, if you do not need the %location%-field for something else, well, let’s say for example for a location
If you are not afraid of making changes to the code, just add a second location-field, which works similar to the one that already exists (just name it differently, e.g. %information% or %shorttitle%)

Sometimes the %TITLE% ist too long in the sidebar. I whould like to limit the %TITLE% to a given number of letters. Any help?

@Michael
Sorry, I can’t. I have no idea, what user plugins put into the database.
However, it might work with RS EVENT multiday. But it will definetly be a lot of work and thinking. Thus, I am sorry I cannot offer you a solution.

@Michael
I guess, I know, what you want. Well, there might be ways to solve your problem. However, you have to be familiar with manipulating your database. Moreover you have to be familiar with the php function mysql2date.
I think, there are better plugins, which might solve your problem in a better wetter.

Hi Florian,
ist there any way to use this plugin in relation with a csv-import file. I am eager to populate my blog with events like concerts and would love to put a date into a column which would fill the according custom field. But as the Custom Fields are hidden and I don´t think that the plain date can be used, I kindly asku your advice. rly hope I could explain my issue properly.
Thx for your work,
Michael

@Amy

1. Via the sidebar widget control panel of the WP backend, the widget can only be placed once in a sidebar. Nevertheless, you can put the function rs_even_list() as many times as you want it in your template or sidebar.php. So yes, please follow step 5.

2. You have to add the “a” at the time format of the widget or you have to pass it as a parameter, e.g.:
‘time_format’ => ‘g:i a’,

Hi! Your widget is just what I was looking for!
I have a few questions though:

1. I am able to add all the default WP widgets multiple times but can’t add RS EVENT multiday more than once. I want the widget to appear on the homepage as well as the sidebar (when sidebar is enabled).
Do you know if this is a problem with the widget or with my theme, and whether I can fix it? Or should I follow step 5 of the installation instructions?

2. I’m not very familiar with php, but I want to am/pm to show in the time. Where do I place the “a” in the output?

Thanks!

@Nat,
Sorry, now I see the problem clearer. However, I cannot see a solution to your problem since an event is still considered as a “rather short” (i.e. maximum of one day) event, even if it is a multiday event. To sort, add and remove the event, the plugin just uses the start OR end date, so the plugin regards the event as a single day event. SORRY.
B.t.w.: The start OR end date, which is used for sorting, is stored in the database with the key _rs_event_ts

Thanks, Florian. In the meanwhile I already found my way to print that info using templates
Now, I have a new one…
I’m trying to build an “Events Front Page” with 3 areas:
- Past Events (not including the current one)
- Current Event
- Upcoming Events (not including the current one)
(all Events are multi-day)
Now, my problem is the “not including” part..
If I choose to make my events removable from list by “END DATE”, my Current Event will appear among the “Upcoming”.
If I choose to make my events removable by “START DATE” the Current Event is always listed among the “Past” ones…

(I tried looking at the code but I think the “key date” is rs_event_ts and didn’t found where to bend it)

Please, I’d need some sort of logic to list past and future events, separately, and without including the current one.

Any suggestion? Thanks in advance!
